55Our first time using Sniffspot and Melanie’s private dog park was perfect!! Lots of room for the dogs to explore and run around. They loves the little kiddie pool and toys to play with. We walked around the field a bunch of times and also rested in the shade with the chairs and dog treats. Overall great time and will be back! Rebecca and Jesse F.

55I cannot thank you enough for opening up your property to others’ dogs! This space is amazing and feels so generous. My three loved it and the dog treats, water, toys, chairs and gopher digging area are such nice touches. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Angel P.

55The dogs enjoyed the great big grassy field! There were even some big durable toys for the dogs to play with. The hosts were thoughtful! They had water and treats for the dogs by the shaded chairs. Hana W.

55Great spot! Nice stuff provided like treats, water and toys. My dog was really interested in their porch for some reason haha. Lots of bees this time of year but they didn’t bother us. Highly recommend!Elisabeth B.

55Wonderful spot. Our dogs are master escape artists and have managed to find their way out of fully fenced Sniff Spots before. Not so with this place - our German Shepherd and Cattle dog mix had a great time running all over the place. They played with the toys and loved the kitty pool. Thanks!Brooke O.

55What a fun spot! Our dogs had five secure acres to explore. One of our dogs would explore the whole countryside if he could so I was glad there weren't any gaps to accommodate him. He wasn't bored inside the spot though, there was plenty of space and cool things to catch his interest. The shaded seating area was perfectly comfortable and in a great place to view the countryside. A big pail of water and a supply of doggy treats were nearby. The highlight for my herding dogs was the adjacent cow pasture. The cows just looked at them as if to say, "hey, what's the big deal?" :) Thanks for sharing your spot with us, Melanie! Can't wait to bring my husband to join us next time! Bobbie B.

55It was super easy to come and have my dogs just relax. My husky had enough room to run to her heart’s content and my older dog was just happy to sniff around and meet some cows. Stefania R.

55If you have dogs that love to all-out run and explore, this spot is amazing. Our high-energy dogs are in love with this place. There are diverse areas to explore; long grass, mowed field, ditches - some with water, trees and shrubs, and cattle in the adjacent pasture. There are balls and frisbees strewn about the acres, a pail of water, seating in a couple places, and dog treats. We went on a cloudy, misty day and was totally refreshed by our time spent in this beautiful countryside. Thanks, Melanie!! Bobbie B.

55This spot was fantastic for us! Our pups loved all the space to run and played with the toys. My 5yo pittie Rosie ran up to the fence to meet the neighbor dog and they became fast friends. Rosie also loved the cattle. My 1yo American Bully Donna loved wondering around and smelled every treat and shrub.Andrea B.

55There are low spots in the pasture that get wet, but it wasn’t muddy. You might want to bring a towel. Our girl had a great time playing in the water! Chantelle S.

55What a fantastic space for the dogs to play! The location was easy to find, and parking/turn around area was ample. I'm glad I looked at the pictures before going, otherwise I wouldn't have known it was okay to go on both sides of the house. The 4" square wire fencing was perfectly fine for our dogs, though small dogs intent on escaping could get through the square spaces of the fence wire. It appeared the ditch near the road was adequately fenced for the medium sized dogs, didn't investigate too closely. We didn't see or hear any other dogs. My dog was fascinated by the cattle, but they were well away from the fence when we visited and the hot wire on their side was active.
There were indeed, holes in the gopher area (marked by a sign on the NE side of the house) and I found a few - but that's to be expected, and no harm done! This site was clean and beautiful. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back!!
Thanks for making your property available to let people give their dogs a safe place to RUN and play!Kyla S.

55Frankie loved romping around the field and gopher holes and allllll the sniffs.
Plenty of space to roam. There’s a lot of places for dogs to sniff under things so if you have a small dog that won’t come out on their own just know that’s a thing.
Please note it’s the first of the two driveways close together. The photos at the end helped us know we were at the right one. Margaret M.

FAQ about our Yamhill dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Yamhill area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is German Village Backyard. The most expensive dog field is German Village Backyard. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
